034Motorsport’s Density Line Adjustable Rear Toe Links facilitate simple and precise toe adjustments, making
alignment changes for optimal track performance or even tire wear easier. Density Line Adjustable Rear Toe Links
Feature Forged Steel Threaded Rod Ends with 90 Durometer Rubber Bushings to ensure longevity and minimize
deflection under load – ensuring that proper suspension geometry is maintained during hard cornering.
Note: Installation is performed on a MkVII Volkswagen GTI, however installation procedure is almost identical for all
MQB and MkV/MkVI, 8J/8P vehicles. Sway bar hardware may differ based on current bar and/or rear end links
installed on your car. These steps cover installation of one toe link. Simply repeat these steps once more to
complete the other side.
Installation of this upgrade is a straightforward process that will take approximately two hours to complete.
Step 1 – Raise the vehicle securely on jackstands or a lift, in order to gain access to the rear suspension. Make sure
you have all tools necessary for installation of the Density Line Adjustable Rear Toe Link Pair.
Step 2 – Remove rear sway bar mounting bracket from rear subframe. For vehicles with 034Motorsport Rear Sway
Bar installed, use a 6mm allen to remove the 2 bolts securing the mounting bracket to the subframe.
Step 3 – Remove the lower rear sway bar end link bolt from the lower control arm. By doing this, the rear sway bar
should have enough play to provide space for inner toe link bolt removal.
Step 4 – Locate the 2 bolts (inner and outer) securing the factory rear toe link to the rear subframe and rear hub
assembly.
Step 5 – Using an 18mm wrench or socket, remove the outer bolt securing the toe link to the hub assembly.
Step 6 – Using a pair of 18mm wrenches (or 18mm socket & 18mm wrench), remove the factory nut and bolt
securing the toe link to the rear subframe.
Step 7 – With a pry bar, dislodge the rear toe link from the rear hub assembly.
Step 8 – Remove the factory toe link completely from the car.
Step 9 – Set the new 034Motorsport Density Line Adjustable Rear Toe Link to the same length as the factory toe link
by aligning the bolts through both the factory and 034Motorsport rear toe links simultaneously.
Step 10 – Align the bolt holes of 034Motorsport Density Line Adjustable Rear Toe Link with the rear hub assembly.
Note: Position such that the short spacers are on the outside (hub assembly) and taller spacers mount to the rear
subframe.
Step 11 – Install the factory outer toe link bolt, securing the 034Motorsport Density Line Adjustable Rear Toe Link to
the rear hub assembly.
Step 12 – Position the inner rod end within the rear subframe provisions and align bolt holes.
Note: This may take some coercion with a rubber mallet.
Step 13 – With the bolt holes aligned, install the factory inner toe link bolt using an 18mm socket, securing the
034Motorsport Density Line Adjustable Rear Toe Link to the rear subframe. Torque to 70Nm + 180 degree-turn.
Step 14 – Torque the outer toe link bolt to 70N m + 180-degree turn.
Step 15 – Reinstall the lower rear sway bar end link bolt, securing the rear sway bar end link to the lower rear
control arm. Torque to 35 Nm.
Step 16 – Reinstall rear subframe mounting bracket with existing 2 bolts. Torque to 28 Nm.
Step 17 – Double check the installation, and verify that everything is torqued to spec. Lower the vehicle from the lift
or jackstands, and enjoy the improved handling and alignment adjustability!
